Episode review 2.07 or I tried hard not to laugh
This was supposed to be a dramatic episode, but it failed miserably on that front for me.
The hopefully unintentionally funny bits: Jack's glove-gasm when trying to activate it, the visit from The Addam's Family's The Thing, and the 90's steady-cam MTV video knock off feel in the bar scene.
The "look Torchwood has money and can so special effects whether they are necessary or not" bits: Owen vomiting up the beer (with also ranked in the 'things I never wanted to see on TV' category), Owen vomiting up Death (which made me wonder what TW's obsession with vomiting effects is this season- we saw it in 2.06 too), the overuse of Death wandering the halls and the fight that would-not-end between Death and Owen.
Let's add in the "Huh?" scenes: What happened between Death being released and Jack waking up in the SUV? Did that feel like a scene was cut to anyone else? And, why did Martha de-age? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she did, but WHY? The people who had the life sucked out of them by Death didn't come back, why did Martha?
There were some good bits- I loved the look into Cardiff's supernatural/seedy underworld, and that while Jack isn't a regular visitor there he's obviously not unknown. I also adored the scene in the jail cell between Jack and Owen (after the puking bit got out of the way).
Question-does anyone know of a place where it lists who wrote which episode for S1 and S2? Just episode titles and writers, not summaries though. NM- thanks, mad_jaks!
